Great hotel

This hotel have a perfect location, 20 minutes to walk to Oxford Circus and Camden Town, three tube stations nearby and walking distance to train stations like Euston, St Pancras and Kings Cross. The breakfast is superb and nothing were missed. The room was a little tiny, but I've experienced worse. There were also no minibar. All in all, close to perfect and very recommendable!

Nightlife tip:
Short walk from hotel

Camden Town have several pubs with extended opening hours compared to the regular english pubs elsewhere. Nice if you think 11.30 pm is a little early to call it the night. Short distance walk here means 20-30 minutes up Albany Road.

Great Place to Stay

This was our first trip to the Melia White House hotel, but it will not be our last. Excellent service from the moment we arrived to the time we left. Warm and friendly staff and great location to get into London.

New Year's Eve 2013

When I booked for New Year's Eve I had as always no expectations, I drove down to London, the hotel was so easy to find perfectly located just off the main route into the city off A40.
When I pulled up in front of the hotel my jaw dropped with pleasant surprise, all lit up and tastefully decorated for the festive season an awesome site I was amazed.
The reception is beautiful the staff friendly and welcoming I couldn't have been happier.
My room was lovely, every time I approached a team member for advice they were happy friendly and well informed. Answering every question I asked.
I only found perfection through our it was an absolute pleasure to stay.
The hotel made my New Year's Eve even better.

Small wonder at Melia White House, London

My friends and I were in London for a Gems of Britain tour by Insight Vacations and we particularly enjoy dining and shopping while in London so being close to Oxford St and Bond St was an important factor in choosing Melia White House. We could conveniently reach the precincts on foot and as it was cool while sunny, we could walk all the way to Piccadilly with stops at Tate Gallery, Green Park and Fortnum & Masons. It was our first time staying at this hotel and the doorman and receptionist made sure we were warmly welcomed. Sadly, one of the rooms we had booked was way too small for my friends but the hotel had a spacious junior suite as an alternative. I would like to compliment Faisal at front desk who gave his all to ensure that the switch was efficiently made. He was a great help throughout our stay for the next few days. The housekeeping staff were also charming and courteously greeted us whenever we passed by. They ensured that our rooms were always clean, fresh and tidied. We all agree that the secure lift system was the best feature in the hotel. It facilitated fast delivery in the safest of ways for the ladies among us. The breakfast spread each morning was delightful. One bug bear was that our door refused us entry twice on our stay and we had to wait for security staff to come to our rescue. But that was solved eventually.

Shopping tip:
Short walk from hotel

Shop along Oxford St first before heading for the boutiques at Bond St. Be at Bond St by 3pm at least because you'll be enticed to walk into more stores than you think. The last boutique to close is Burberry's which was open even at 7pm on a Friday evening!

Lacking

Great position for transport, parks and attractions.
A free upgrade to a Superior Double was a pleasant surprise, as I was travelling with my Mother who was not well.The room was nice and spacious, very clean, nicely decorated and comfortable, just great when your feeling off.
Two things spoilt our stay the food and the staff.
Firstly the food was under lights rather than in bain maries; this meant that the food was only lukewarm and hence not very appetising (2 x breakfasts & 1 evening meal); even the tea/coffee was not hot. Also the strange set up with jam & other preserves nowhere near the bread/toast/crossaints was a rather strange choice of setout.
The front desk staff where not particulary welcoming, but it was the restaurant staff that took the cake. Clumsy, obviously not well trained in how to clear tables; pushy in getting you to have tea/coffee - especially when you had told them that you wanted it after the meal; loudly discussing their work colleagues and private life to all and sundry and generally ignorant of what the restaurant had to offer for the evening meal.
Sadly, we will not be returning as the only thing that is really right about the hotel's blurb is that it is in a unique location.

Good but loud

The stay for 3 days was really good. Friendly staff, nice bar area and good service.
On the negative side unsealed windows gave street noice and also wind free space. We sealed it with tolilet paper. Also a minus for the brakfast price.

Good location for oxford street shopping

Pretty good location check in smooth, room tiny, bathroom was a challenge because it was so small, staff friendly. Good location for walking to camden town and oxford street need to venture further if you want decent food or refreshements. great Portland underground across the road but several changes on underground to get to any of the tourist attractions. Walked to Kings cross in less than 20 min taxi cost around £8
